I haven't noticed it commercially prepared raw, either. I don't think I've ever seen it in kibble, but did see it used in canned. Not that I've looked for it in any case. Could be that I just haven't noticed it.

On the discussion about pancreatitis, many times I've seen warnings not to feed our Yorks pork, bacon, ham, etc. And I really wondered why. Is it something about the amino acid contained in pork flesh or the structure of the protein, or is it simply because of high fat content? If it is due to the high fat content, some ham is very lean (although processed with way too much salt for a dog) and tenderloin is just as lean as chicken breast. If the problem lies in the high fat content, it seems that the blanket statement for "no pork for Yorkies!" doesn't hold water. Bacon is an obvious no-no, but why not other leaner cuts in kibble or canned?
